Photon Statistics of Incoherent Cathodoluminescence with Continuous and Pulsed Electron Beams

چکیده
Photon bunching in incoherent cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy originates from the fact that a single high-energy electron can generate multiple photons when interacting with material, thus, revealing key properties of electron–matter excitation. Contrary to previous works based on Monte Carlo modeling, here we present fully analytical model describing amplitude and shape second order autocorrelation function (g(2)(?)) for continuous pulsed beams. Moreover, extend analysis photon ultrashort pulses, which up 500 electrons per pulse excite sample within few picoseconds. We obtain simple equation relating strength (g(2)(0)) beam current, emitter decay lifetime, duration, case beams, excitation efficiency (?), defined as probability an creates at least one interaction emitter. The shows good agreement experimental data obtained InGaN/GaN quantum wells using continuous, ns-pulsed (using blanker) ps-pulsed photoemission) extract efficiencies 0.13 0.05 10 8 keV respectively, observe nonlinear effects play no compelling role, even after dense cascades wells.

Electron and photon beams interacting with plasma.
A comparison is made between the interaction of electron bunches and intense laser pulses with plasma. The laser pulse is modelled with photon kinetic theory, i.e. a representation of the electromagnetic field in terms of classical quasi-particles with space and wave number coordinates, which enables a direct comparison with the phase space evolution of the electron bunch. Analytical results ar...
متن کاملEvaluation of Electron Contamination in Cancer Treatment with Megavoltage Photon Beams: Monte Carlo Study
Background: Megavoltage beams used in radiotherapy are contaminated with secondary electrons. Different parts of linac head and air above patient act as a source of this contamination. This contamination can increase damage to skin and subcutaneous tissue during radiotherapy. Monte Carlo simulation is an accurate method for dose calculation in medical dosimetry and has an important role in opt...
متن کاملCalibration of Photon and Electron Beams
Modern radiotherapy relies on accurate dose delivery to the prescribed target volume. The ICRU has recommended an overall accuracy in tumour dose delivery of ±5%, based on an analysis of dose response data and on an evaluation of errors in dose delivery in a clinical setting. Considering all uncertainties involved in the dose delivery to the patient, the ±5% accuracy recommendation is by no mea...
متن کاملTheory of photon coincidence statistics in photon-correlated beams
The statistics of photon coincidence counting in photon-correlated beams is thoroughly investigated considering the effect of the finite coincidence resolving time. The correlated beams are assumed to be generated using parametric downconversion, and the photon streams in the correlated beams are modeled by two partially correlated Poisson point processes. An exact expression for the mean rate ...
متن کاملManipulation of photon statistics of highly degenerate incoherent radiation.
Highly degenerate incoherent radiation has a Gaussian density matrix and a large occupation number of modes f. If it is passed through a weakly transmitting barrier, its counting statistics is close to Poissonian. We show that a second identical barrier, in series with the first, drastically modifies the statistics. The variance of the photocount is increased above the mean by a factor f times ...
